HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE, LOCKED IN BEFORE AN EXAM

WRITING MATERIALS

Having your own writing materials could save you a lot of stress, time and distraction during an exam. Have your own pen, pencil, eraser etc.

EXTRA MATERIALS

Never give your village people a benefit of doubt! Always go with double of everything (pens, pencils, calculators). Matter of fact, you’re allowed to be extreme by tripling it. You can never be too cautious.


YOUR CALM

Before every exam, calm down. Relax your nerves by sleeping, seeing a movie, taking a walk or by doing anything that blows off some of the steam that you’ve accumulated from all that studying and preparation. Being a jittery mess in an exam reduces your steeze and composure by 70% so tackle it before then.

YOUR A-GAME

In Nigeria, exams are one of the easiest ways to get a person. If you know, you know. That is why you have to make sure that you’re on your best appearance and behavior. Dress decently, smell nice and be very polite, especially to your examiners.

YOUR BRAIN

As usual, go to every exam with your head in the game and with a mindset that you’re going to smash your personal best.

COMFORT MATERIALS

For some people, this might be a little extra, but, once again, you never can be too cautious. Have with you your own stuff to make you comfortable. Could be a bottle of water, snacks, chewing gum, a sweater, glasses, inhaler etc. However, please apply your discretion with this. No do pass yourself


MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION

Go with your student ID and/or any other required means of identification.

YOUR GOD

Lastly, go with whoever/whatever you believe in. As humans, we all definitely need to trust in someone/something, so say your prayers and leave the rest for the supernatural.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, before every exam, leave no chances for your village people, dress decently, smell nice, maintain your steeze and composure, be polite to your examiners, be calm and say your prayers, as those are the essential things to have before an exam.
